Dec 5, 2021 | NFL | Pedal Ankle Bruise | Ekeler dealt with "bumps and bruises" following Week 13's win over the Bengals. He was good for the next game. |
Dec 12, 2021 | NFL | Pedal Ankle Sprain/Pull Unspecified Grade 1 | Ekeler picked up an ankle sprain in the Week 14 game against the Giants. |
Ekeler is coming off a massive 2022, when he led all RBs in PPR and half-PPR points. That followed a RB3 finish in points per game across scoring formats in 2021.
Don’t bank on Ekeler repeating last year’s 18 TDs. Or 107 catches.
He also turned 28 in May, an age at which RBs often start declining.
But Ekeler could decline a bit from last year’s production and still be a top-5 fantasy RB. We like him in the back half of Round 1 in PPR and half-PPR drafts. And, even in non-PPR, he’s worth a late-first or early-second-round pick.
For us, it's 1/17th of the equation. Hear us out.
